ARBA Hall of Fame Inductees
In 1952 when the national organization changed it’s name to American Rabbit Breeders Association, Inc. they also established the ARBA Hall of Fame title. This is the highest honor which may be bestowed on an individual by the ARBA for outstanding service within the organization and the rabbit and cavy industry in general. During the 50 plus years since this honorarium has been created there have been hundreds of thousands of people that have become members of the ARBA, however, only 23 individuals have been so honored by their induction into the ARBA Hall of Fame. A portrait of each Hall of Fame member is prominently displayed in the Hall of Fame Library.
